…in the reference area of ODY there are eight new beautiful white-as-bone art deco iMacs. Brand new, ready for any Apple-leaning researcher who happens by and are first in line. These are networked machines sporting all the things you’d expect with a Mac, plus Photoshop and both Firefox and Safari.
And after a morning on the Mac, why not read about the company from which these beauties sprung. We have a number of books in the collection on Apple, and on the implications of the technologies they’ve produced and so successfully marketed:

- The Second Coming of Steve Jobs by Alan Deutschman
